Re: a day I won't soon forget.....

Pat, I'm so sorry to hear this news. As for your husband's not giving his doc his cancer history and the cancer history in his family, my good friend would say that is a Y chromosome thing. Mine would have done the exact same thing. Sending my positive thoughts your way.

Sending special thoughts, lots of hugs, and a giant prayer!

I'm full of compassion, but I'm on Roger's side - why didn't the doctor ask those questions? And I'm certain hearing the big C word caused MM to go off into his mind with all kinds of thoughts that didn't necessarily bring to mind any of the questions he should be asking. Go hug him and tell him that's from me.

I'm glad to hear they caught this and it appears to be slow growing. We love them but they sure can be annoying when it comes to communication. Believe me, I can relate. My friends tell me things and I find myself often saying, "Joe never tells me anything." The doctors will get your husband back to square one. I would insist on going with him for any further appointments, if I were you.

Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.

I agree that if you want info you can't let men go to the doctor alone. They just go, they don't talk. I went in with my hubby about a year after he had been seeing his neurologist. Her and I talked about the issues that he had been having with his meds. I asked all kinds of questions and she answered. The next month he went alone and she asked where I was since she learned a lot more about him and his issues from me.

Ten years ago, he had a tumor that grows on your nerves. They usually grow in your head and are about the size of a hazelnut. His grew behind his left lung, was the size of an orange, then invaded and filled two vertebra, eating away the bone. Luckily, that type tumor is noncancerous 98% of the time.

At that time, I went to every appointment with him and asked lots of questions. I'm sure that is why I am banned from going now! We had a discussion this morning about him not mentioning all the cancers to the doctor and he said it did not matter because all of them were females!! He does not understand that he still should tell them, and I'm pretty sure he won't.

Thank you very much for all your kind thoughts and words....they mean a lot to me! I will try not to become a major basket case!
